God uses Christian community to encourage and shape our walk with Christ. One of
the most valuable parts of your experience at Cedarville will be the lifelong friendships
that start and grow while you are here. Members of the Cedarville community are
encouraged to edify one another, be ready to listen and quick to offer encouragement.
As members of this community, we commit to love each other and to serve one
another with humility and personal sacrifice. Sometimes this involves shared times of
celebration. Other times it requires the courage to lovingly confront, rebuke, or correct
another member of the community.
The following principles guide our approach to community:
• Above all, glorify God. The highest objective of community life at Cedarville is
to encourage all of us to love God with all of our hearts, minds, and souls.
• We should love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
• We should value the community in which we live.Each of us has a
responsibility for the impact that we have on the culture of the Cedarville campus.
• We need to consider our testimony. Our behavior should bear evidence of
our commitment to Christ and our collective desire to be a campus with Jesus
at the center.
